Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 20, 2019 - Richebourg + RSV for Mike and Pete's birthday (Holland Park, Singapore): My first time with this winemaker. 80% Rousanne, 10% Marsanne, 10% Chardonnay, this was a really nice white - a real surprise. The nose had a blast of exotic spice - suggestions of cloves and cardamoms almost - and then a touch of beeswax, some tropical fruit, and a base of poached pear, watermelon candy, and a squeeze of sugarcane juice. A really complex, entrancing nose. The palate was lovely too - it had a real crunch of sweet green pears infused with a warm spiciness, and more of that South of France beeswax character that just coated the midpalate and into a long, insistent, rather chalky, minerally finish. Really lovely stuff - this impressed me tremendously.
